Vintage American hand crafted basket woven from sweetgrass & measures 15" long, 10" wide and 2.5" high. Features a wonderful seashell diorama of four vases filled with flowers . As you can see in the photos, the shells are displayed on a fabric covered piece of cardboard & covered with an old piece of glass. Over the years, some dust has been trapped under the glass but the basket itself & the shell work are all in good condition. The dust just adds to its charm.

I am not sure about the origin of this piece. I bought it years ago from a very knowledgeable dealer of early Americana who said it was "Seminole". Whether it was originally made as a souvenir, a craft during the "WPA" days or as a "labor of love", I do know it is an authentic piece of vintage folk art.
